Cookie Recipes

[SS MAYFLOAT]

I'm looking for some recipes for cookies. I know there are lots to be found on the net. But I'm looking for some that fellow members have made and enjoyed.<br /><br />Usually a couple of weeks prior to "CHRISTMAS" I make about 20 to 25 dozen chocolate chip cookies. I pass them out to the people in the office and to the managers in the 9 stores I tend to. This year I want to add a variety to their care package.<br /><br />BTW, I use the recipe from Crisco's butter flavored shortening for my Chocolate Chip cookies. Pretty much a guranteed success on taste.<br /><br />

Re: Cookie Recipes

SS, I made some almond thumbprints a few years ago that were awsome. If I ever find the recipe again I'll post it along with a crushed candy cane pinwheel cookie that my mom makes every year. I have neither recipe with me at this time but I just called my mom and she has the pinwheel recipe for me.

Thumbelina Cookies<br /><br />1 cup sweet butter, softened<br />2/3 cups granulated sugar<br />1/2 teaspoon almond extract<br />2 cups flour<br />1/3 to 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam ( or pick your favorite fruit preserve and substitute)<br /><br />Glaze<br />1 cup confectioners' sugar<br />2 to 3 teaspoons water<br />1/2 teaspoon almond extract<br />Preheat oven to 350° F. <br />Beat together the butter and sugar until well blended. Beat in almond extract and gradually add flour until dough forms a ball. <br />Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.<br />Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. <br />With the end of a wooden spoon or your finger, make an indentation in the center of ball and fill with raspberry jam.<br />Bake 14 to 18 minutes in a oven to 350° F. or until edges are lightly browned. <br />Remove to a wire rack to cool.<br />(If any cookies look a bit jam-lacking, just put a bit more on before doing the glazing.)<br />Combine the glaze ingredients mixing well until smooth and drizzle over cookies.<br /><br />Yield: 3 1/2 dozen
